Review conclusionNot recommendedWith reservations

Only in one review: Under load 11.91 V (XK-1205DC); Protection 1.5 A (12 V 1 A power supply); Temperature rise 112 °C (12 V 1 A power supply).

12 V 1 A power supply: Unsafe because it uses an ordinary interwinding capacitor; at 1 A the diode gets very hot and ripple is high.

XK-1205DC: This compact PSU performs well above its rated current, but its interwinding capacitor should be replaced.

Figures were taken from the review text and checked against the quoted passages. Measurement conditions differ between reviews, so read the reviews yourself before buying. Prices at the time of review.
